This dance workshop series is part of Jamii’s March Cycle and reflects the 2026 theme, It Feels Right. Led by Michael Mortley, this dancing workshop series explores Soca and Caribbean movement as expressions of rhythm, culture, and collective joy. Participants are invited to move with energy, curiosity, and presence while connecting to music rooted in Caribbean traditions.

Across five sessions, participants build endurance, coordination, and musical awareness through dynamic movement sequences inspired by Soca and Calypso. The workshop welcomes a wide range of bodies and abilities, with seated movement options available for those who need them. The focus is on moving with intention, finding your own rhythm, and sharing space with others through dance.

This workshop is open to all movement levels and abilities. No previous dance experience is required. Come ready to move, create, connect, and have fun.

Workshops are free for participants. Registration is required, and space is limited.
